Liquidambar styraciflua
De Liquidambar styraciflua, beter bekend als de Amerikaanse amberboom, is een imposante loofboom die uitblinkt in de herfst. Zijn diep ingesneden bladeren beginnen groen, maar verkleuren in het najaar naar schitterende tinten van rood, oranje en geel. De boom heeft een piramidale vorm en een opvallende schors die met de jaren grover wordt. Ideaal voor grotere tuinen of parken, waar hij zowel als solitaire boom als in groepen een statige uitstraling heeft.
